This Is Why We Need TO Study And Live The Bible!

This Is Why We Need To Study And Live The Bible!

I saw this story on CBN’s News and it is amazing for two reasons:

1: The visitation from GOD to the children and the angelic protection of the villagers.

2: The answer of the group’s Pastor when asked about the event.

But a story of tragedy reportedly turned into a supernatural rescue for 72 of those Nigerian Christians who were facing a Boko Haram firing squad.

Four leaders of the Christians were told to renounce their faith in Jesus and revert to Islam. When the men refused, they were executed in front of their families.

Then the wives of the four men were told to renounce their faith or their children would be executed. That's when something remarkable happened.

The children in the group said the Lord Jesus appeared to them that night and told them "All would be well," according to sources with the Barnabas Fund. They were told not to fear, that He would protect them, and that they should not renounce Him but stay strong knowing that "He is the way, the truth, and the life."

The next morning, the terrorists lined the children against a wall and told the four mothers they could save their kids if they would only renounce Jesus Christ and return to Islam. The mothers refused.

As the soldiers prepared to fire, something happened. They dropped their rifles and started to grab at their heads, screaming and shouting "Snakes! Snakes!" Some of the soldiers ran off, and others dropped dead where they stood, according to the Barnabas Fund.

After one soldier had dropped his weapon in fear, one captive attempted to pick up the rifle in order to fire at the fleeing terrorists. He stopped when a four-year-old child told him about angels who were protecting them. "You don't need to do that. Can you not see the men in white fighting for us?"

The lives of all 72 Christians were spared and they were relocated to a safer region of Nigeria. When the Barnabas Fund's contact asked the group's pastor why he thought Jesus appeared to them and not to others, he gave this answer: "He does not need to. You have over 200 versions of Scripture and many people able to explain the Bible to you... These people do not."

If as a believer who is not seeing the Word of GOD active in your life and ministry this should shame you as it did me to seek the LORD’s forgiveness for not living every part of our life by trusting (faith) fully in Him and the Truth of His Word. Only when we know and practice the Word (not just memorization) will we know (understand and practice) the Truth and be set free to do His Will and Works in the earth as it is in Heaven.
